Terk AM-FM+_OMЙ - Manual (Page 2)

Locating Your AM/FM+
For Best Results
1. All antennas are affected by electromagnetic fields.
To maximize performance, position your AM/FM+
antenna away from direct contact with receivers,
tuners, CD players, TVs and computers.
Note: Antennas work best when CD players, VCRs
and computers are turned off.
2. Keep the antenna away from large metal objects.
Placing the AM/FM+ near a window often provides
the best results.
3. On occasions, certain areas in your home may be null
points or dead spots where no radio signal can be
received. This may also occur in metal-frame
buildings and houses with aluminum siding. In this
case, simply move your antenna, trying different
locations, until the best reception is achieved.
4. In weak signal areas, optimum tuning is achieved
with your receiver’s scan button in the off position.

AM Connections:
Your TERK antenna uses a Twin Lead Bare Wire for
AM connections. If your radio tuner or receiver has a
push-button connection, simply slip the bare wires into
the push button connections. For a Screw Terminal
connection, wrap the bare wires around the screw
terminals and tighten.
See Figs. 2/3.

Making Connections
With Your New AM/FM+
Radio tuners and receivers can have different connections
for your new AM/FM+ antenna. Please find the connection
that best matches your tuner or receiver and follow the
listed instructions.
FM Connections:
75 Ohm Coaxial:
Your TERK antenna has a Slip-On Coaxial connector on
the FM lead. Simply slide the connector onto the coaxial
terminal.
See Fig. 1.
75 Ohm Push-Button Connection:
If your Radio tuner or receiver has Push-Button terminals
for FM you will need to use the supplied RED 75 Ohm
matching transformer. First, slide the RED 75 Ohm
matching transformer into the connector on the FM lead
of the antenna. Next, slide the RED wire into the terminal
marked “FM 75 Ohm”. Lastly, connect the BLACK wire
into the terminal marked “FM Ground” or “GND”.
